2017 Research Symposium

Wednesday, November 8

From the basic building blocks of matter to the social structures that keep us safe and healthy, biocomplexity touches every facet of our lives. At our 2017 symposium, we are inviting the scientific community to showcase innovations that extend from molecules to policy.

Keynote Speaker

Read Montague is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine in the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. He also directs the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory and Computational Psychiatry Unit at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. Montague’s work centers broadly on human social cognition, decision-making, and willful choice with a goal of understanding their underlying neurobiology.

Event Schedule

Researchers from all scientific disciplines are invited to attend the Biocomplexity Institute's 2017 Research Symposium on November 8.

Poster Presentations

Presentation Abstracts

Formatting and Printing

Presenters should format their poster content to fit the official Biocomplexity Institute poster template.

Posters should be printed at a size of 24" x 36", portrait.

Presenters are responsible for printing their own posters. We recommend students use Virginia Tech Printing Services as they allow payment using the Hokie Passport card.

Setting Up and Presenting

Presenters should arrive at the Biocomplexity Institute to set up their poster before 12:00pm on Wednesday, November 8.

Posters will be arranged in the second floor reception area and the second floor collaboration area in Steger Hall South.

The Biocomplexity Institute will provide materials for mounting your poster, including an easel, pushpins, and backing board.

There are two poster presentation sessions scheduled for the afternoon (12:30-1:30pm) and evening (3:30-5:00pm.) Presenters are expected to be stationed at their poster for the entirety of these sessions.
